🎉🏈 THE 5TH DAY OF 5TH GRADE! 🏈🎉
What better way to celebrate being 5th graders than with a day all about learning, teamwork, and getting to know one another?! ❤️🖤🤍
We started by reading The Little Linebacker and talking about the difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset. Our students worked together to sort different scenarios and decide which mindset each one represented. We learned an important lesson: “I can’t do it” can become “I can’t do it YET!” 💪🏽🧠
Next, we took our school-wide theme of TEAMWORK and put it into action! 🏈 Ms. Hill’s Dream Team worked in groups to see who could construct the longest paper chain. There was plenty of planning, communicating, problem-solving, and a little friendly competition! 😄 But the biggest lesson was simple: We can accomplish so much more when we work TOGETHER! 🤝🏽
To make our 5th day of 5th grade even more special, students brought 5 things from home that tell us a little more about who they are. This week has been about more than rules, routines, and academics. We’ve been intentional about building relationships, learning about one another, and becoming a TEAM. ❤️
And what’s a celebration without a treat?! 😂 Since summer is officially over, we sent it out the right way—with a nice, cool POPSICLE PARTY! ☀️🧊😋
Five days down, and Ms. Hill’s Dream Team is already learning that we may each bring something different to the team, but we are BETTER TOGETHER! 🏈❤️🖤🤍
Happy 5th Day of 5th Grade! 🎉5️⃣📚
